PINE RIDGE, S.D. — The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota is out of jail after being arrested over the weekend.

Julian Bear Runner was booked into jail on Saturday. His name was removed from the jail’s roster by Sunday.

Bear Runner confirmed in a news release Sunday that he was arrested but said that because he has not yet been arraigned, he doesn’t know what he’s being charged with.

Neither the police chief nor Bear Runner immediately replied to Associated Press requests for comment Monday.
